KANHA NATIONAL PARK
KANHA NATIONAL PARK This is the original Kipling country, so vividly described in his Jungle Book. The same abundance of natural splendour remains largely unaffected even today. The Sal and Bamboo forests, the rolling grassland and the meandering streams of 968 sq km construct this brilliant Tiger Reserve of the country. Home to the endangered Hard Ground Barsingha, the Park also houses a large variety of mammals collaged with a rich variety of avian species. The game includes Tiger, Leopard, Panther, Dhole (Wild Dog), Striped Hyena, Sloth Bear, Jackal, Three Striped Palm Squirrel, Wild Boar, Black Buck, Swamp Deer and Mouse Deer. The avian population includes Bulbul, Magpie Robin, Wagtail, Drongo, Tree Pie, Rose Finch, Thrush, Minivet and Teal.
